Mr Isreb was lovely on the day of my operation. Went over everything again and made me feel relaxed and confident. He came to see me afterwards and said that everything had gone well
Thanks for your kind feedback
Mr Isreb was brilliant, really informative and explained everything perfectly, its a pity I can't have the op sooner as the government states it has to be 12 weeks after the first consultation. I had the other side done 4 months ago where the surgeon on my first consultation said he was going to do both but obviously didn't. I was in a&e yesterday as it strangulated, obviously I have 10 weeks more of this to look forward too . looking forward to getting this sorted and been actually able to go back to work at last . sorry for the rant but this is depressing me as been off work since the end of June
Thank you for the review and sorry I can't change government rules. It has to be 12 weeks after GP referral for NHS patients to be funded by government. I wish I can do something about this rule

Visit was extremely well organised and very quick. Was out within 15 minutes and everything was explained clearly and concisely. The doctor was friendly and very professional.
Thanks for the kind feedback
I saw Mr Isreb as an NHS patient at his OP clinic. He had called me the evening before inviting me to see him in order to discuss my medical condition. I was seen promptly at the clinic, he examined me and gave me the surgical options. The consultation was done quickly and afterwards I thought about things I would like to have discussed.
Please ring my secretary and she will arrange for you to see me again
Overall a very good experience
Thank you
Very professional and clear about the procedure, timescales are excellent
